What dos age got to do wit oba ??

Obasanjo is a man of Culture, of Peace, of Humility, of Perseverance, of Courage, of Love, of Excellence, of Worship and of high moral Intelligence.. He is already a Righteous Spirit of God Almighty.. You touch him pere, you touch another Anobi ISA, Jesus Christ. He is just a wiseman bringing Understanding to the 59 year old Oba.
Hear the voice of The Supreme Spirit.

Respect for the throne.

Kingosytex:
Yes, OBJ has to do that, he is a subject to the king and as such must accord obeisance just like all other subjects do.

There is no big deal there, i just like the Yorubas because they value their tradition.

One thing I like about my Yoruba brothers,them sabi maintain culture wella

REDshouse:
Obasanjo doing press up at 82 ..

Even though it's the right thing to do as a Yoruba man, Obasanjo is doing eye service.

Officialgarri:


Yes we do not beat our leaders neither do we beat our elders.

Yes, because we are not bastard and we don't disrespect culture

Officialgarri:


Yes we do not beat our leaders neither do we beat our elders.

then that means this stupid stunt of revolution by sowore was useless after all because in revolution you don't just beat elders and leaders who are wicked and evil oppressors you kill them with regards to age, position or influence
if things don't change right now I pity the state of this country in the next 50yrs

You no remove your cap baba

I can categorically say this is what IBO's lack and would find difficult doing. Very proud people.

obembet:
If this is what u like about yoruba, hit like

Obembet and likes....

Wait o! If Obj were to be d president of Nigeria, will he still prostrate to the king like this cos of tradition

The oba wan die soon

helinues:
Just because your ancestors was forced to be kicking their elders instead of waking them properly from bed doesn't mean this current generation of unfruitful land should continuing slapping your fathers..

No wonder Ekweremadu's disgraced means nothing to you people . Putting tradition into practice

Sigh... everybody has their own traditions, and as long as leaders and the population behave themselves, all is well. About Ekweremadu's beating, in past times in Europe, leaders were killed if they went too far, traditions and bowing aside. In many places, including Yoruba, English, or Igbo land, there is a healthy respect for authority, and there is also space for dressing-down or removing somebody who exceeds or abuses their authority.

Even Igbos (I'm Anioma BTW), with all the pride of being republican/egalitarian/decentralized (as in no paramount chief) had/have hierarchies based on age, family, personal achievements, gender - though it must be agreed that social mobility in Igbo land is the highest in any culture I'm aware of, which makes it hard for hierarchies to become tyrannical.

Nonetheless every society (Igbo included) has its social system of complex interactions and a system of checks and balances, including respect of constituted authority (until that authority exceeded its bounds). You see a different set of checks and balances and ways to remove tyrants in Yoruba (Oba, Bashorun, Oyo Mesi), in America (president, senate & reps, judiciary), in the UK (mnarch, Lords & Commons, and Judiciary), and among the Igbo (lineage headships, influential age groups, titled people, first daughters, and secret societies)

So seeing an octogenarian two-time president and former General of a country's army (ironically relatively modern imports to Nigeria by the British Empire), bowing before constituted authority (vested in a person 30 years younger) illustrates how strongly we hold our own traditions, in spite of the modern influences.

This is not to say we should blindly do whatever we are told, but to understand the reasons for certain traditions, appreciate and accept different people's traditions, and review/edit them as appropriate.

Baba himself, the tormentor of ASRock terrorist

Omonuejegbo:
Unlike Gov Yahaya Bello of Kogi State...

Gov. Yahaya is a crazy man.
He has no single respect for anybody on earth.
May God punish him

He did it wholeheartedly ...

Obj for 2023

I respect OBJ for upholding the tenets of his forebears. Thus is awesome and instructive.

No wonder he is fulfilling his days.

SEGLIZ:

you make me believe there is nothing like tribe but real people.
you make me believe we don't need tribe but genuine people.
if only we have real and genuine people like you around then this nation would have a sound footing it need.
remain blessed.

Remain blessed too sir.

Culture is the total way of life. Culture is the customary beliefs, social norms,and materials traits of a RACIAL,Religious or social group. The word culture is derived from a French term which in turn derives from the Latin "COLERE".I think Obasanjo will become King some day.

Show biz

Norms ( behavior rule of the communities). obasanjo pay homage

some mad people that are condemning obj are happy promoting the culture of those who enslaved their forefathers who raped their great grand mother who are the architect of their present predicament only mad person will condemn obj for respecting his culture awon alai leko

Yoruba culture is the Best I have seen him in occasion of lastborn Olowu of Owu. Pay obeisance. Great Man with culture. Ebora Owu Himself

he is doing what yoruba called Karimi

WHo is he fooling. He wants us to believe he is humble, a war criminal like him...


NONSENSE

MobilityExpress:


Subject to the king under which laws? This is not 1624, we are in 2019. He did it for the cameras. Behind the scene, the man will bow to OBJ

in Yoruba land, once u are a king irrespective of the place people must bow to u even your parents. they are not bowing to u directly but to the throne u stand to represent. n they can't even disrespect u indoors cause it will spell doom for them

Wow, see respect.
